ktsnake-I basically agree with your entire post. The exception does evolve around terminology. I honestly don't know what is "wrong" specifically, but it just seems like terminology becomes very important, legally, sooner or later.
Maybe part is wanting to retain the distinction between that which is condoned through religion and that which is condoned through the courts. There is an effort to diminish, by legal means, the role "faith" plays in our lives, from The Pledge of Allegiance to removing monuments like the Ten Commandments. I think, as a person of faith, I prefer to see the distinction made. Is it the "rights" people are seeking or is it a way for everyone to be indoctrinated into the erosion of the part religion plays in this country? I see a bigger picture here.
BTW- I happen to believe that God would not judge any "union" based on love and respect. I know that flies in the face of many religions.
